GARRETT ANTHONY RICE LETS STILLNESS DO THE DAMAGE IN “STANDING IN A ROBE”
A measured turn inward that finds weight in what is left unsaid.
April 20, 2026 (Greystones, IE) // Garrett Anthony Rice returns with “Standing in a Robe,” a new single from his forthcoming double album Equinox, where the moment after a departure carries more weight than the departure itself. This is a song that finds Rice operating in a field that fans of more mellow moments of classic rock and Britpop will find comfortable, a place where the mood is as important as the words being sung. It’s a departure song that only concerns itself with the moment after a person has decided to leave, never mind what led them to make that choice.
The arrangement moves at a patient mid-tempo, one centred on the spacious quality that has become so much a part of Rice’s work. There is a steady sixteenth-note pulse lurking beneath the surface, which provides the motion for this song while also leaving space in the instrumentation for a story to emerge. The opening has a warmth reminiscent of acoustic classic rock, a subtle space that is often more interested in letting a melody shine than in grabbing attention.
